Chapter 248, Black Fantasy, Wizarding World
In the world before the crossing, Penguin Literature is the leader of the new generation of forces in the Chinese literary world, although it does not have the social influence of the old-school forces, but it is better than it is in the ability to make money.
For a while, they were keen to collaborate with major games, and they were very hyped, attracting many game fans. "New World" is also one of them.
There are two projects between the two sides, one is the "Flood World" of the East Earth server, and the other is the "Wizard World" of the West Land server.
Don't mention the affairs of the eastern continent, the linkage activity of the western continent is quite interesting.
Fantasy style stories, there are generally several genres. The most influential genre is, of course, "Sword and Sorcery", a genre that has a long history and is considered a central pillar of fantasy. It takes "Heroic Adventure" as the center of the story, and generally tells the story of a small group of people who go on an adventure together to defeat the evil Great Demon King and save the world.
The most typical example is the famous fantasy writer Ryo Mizuno's "Rhode Island War".
In contrast to this genre, there is the war-themed genre, which is called the "fantasy epic". Its masterpiece is "Arslan War" by Yoshiki Tanaka, the "King of Murder".
The "wizarding world" is a relatively niche genre, mainly about the story of the indifferent and selfish spellcaster "wizard" and all kinds of weird demons that take place in a world with a broken civilization and a degraded moral.
This genre is considered unpopular in the entire literary world, but it is popular in penguin literature. For a while, the fantasy category of penguin literature was probably accounted for by this genre of three or four or even more, and if it is an exaggeration, it is half of the country.
There are also many fantasy lovers in the player base of "New World". According to them, this linkage world is roughly a more authentic expression of the style of the wizarding world - gloomy, cold, and evil.
Panda felt that such a world must be very suitable for Aaron. If he can come to this world soberly, he will definitely be like a fish in water.
The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.
"It's a pity that when this golden-scaled carp came into this world, he was sealed—and it is likely that he has not been able to break free from the seal until now. The panda shook his head and smiled, sighing at Aaron's luck.
Obviously I met the most suitable world for myself, but I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it, it was really obedient, pitiful!
The panda sighed as he walked like a fly—it was really like flying, and when he came down from the hill, there happened to be a bird on the same path, and then he left the bird behind him on his legs.
Running fast is good.
The panda soon came to the vicinity of the city, which looked quite prosperous from a distance, but when he walked in, he found that it was not very good. Large tracts of farmland surround the city, and the busy farmers in the fields are thin and thin, and they know that they usually don't have enough to eat.
But where producers can't eat enough, it has absolutely nothing to do with "prosperity" or "development".
He didn't think it was surprising, an important feature of the wizarding world was that no more than one in 10,000 people controlled more than 9,999 of the resources, and most of the remaining resources were occupied by nobles...... In this case, civilians can be considered lucky not to starve to death.
At the beginning, he had also seen some wizarding world genres, but all the characters from civilian backgrounds were basically inseparable from the two words.
Poor, lowly.
No way, ordinary characters don't have the protagonist's cheat plug-in!
It's strange to say, in the genre of wizarding world, almost all of the protagonist's plug-ins are smart chips with a series of functions such as analysis, induction, summary and research, with rare exceptions. Panda once consulted Lao Bai, who also writes about the Internet, and the answer he got was: "Readers often have a general preset impression in their minds when they read a certain type." You can choose to innovate on the basis of this impression, or you can choose to innovate on the back of that impression. ”
"Is there a big difference between the two?"
Of course, although the former is generally not popular, it is always possible to support the family with a stable income, while the latter is a dangerous military move, either becoming popular or entering the Pacific. Lao Bai said, "From my creative experience of more than ten years, it seems that the vast majority of those who take the latter path will go to the Pacific Ocean, with few exceptions. ”
"Why? The last time Fengyue talked about online creation, didn't he say that 'innovation is the life of a writer'?"
"Fengyue is a person who can write critically acclaimed serials when he was in high school, and you can use him as a reference? He has enough talent, so in his opinion, the most valuable thing is innovation, and the more innovative he is, the more he can give full play to his talent. But for most authors with mediocre talents, following the routine is the safest path, because ordinary people are not so talented. ”
“...... I understand, this is just like Bruce Lee said back then, the number one master in the world is his apprentice Abdul-Jabbar-in fact, with Abdul-Jabbar's physique, he can beat ordinary martial artists with practice, which is a gap in talent. Right?"
"That's right. ”
Since it is true, then in this genre, the living conditions of ordinary people are almost fixed.
It is what the panda sees now, hardships and hardships, and every day can be used as a material for bittersweet memories, which is enough to make any literary and artistic bourgeoisie who yearns for a "primitive ecological life" cry and shout "I want to go home" for three days at most.
The panda looked at the scrawny but hard-working peasants and sighed deeply.
(Once you've found Aaron, contact Locke and ask him to come to work in this world.) )
He thought that maybe Locke could improve or at least partially improve the lives of the people of this world - at least in practice, the stubborn guy did a good job in Dracula, and there was no reason why he couldn't do it in a different environment.
Around the city walls, there is a large open space. A little further on, there is a low slum. The poor inhabitants built walls out of sun-dried mud and roofs with thatch, and built many thatched huts next to each other.
There are also many such thatched houses in the Western Continent, but if you look closely, you can see that the thatched houses here are even lower and more dilapidated, and it is clear that the poor here are worse off than on the Western Continent.
...... At least, they were worse than the thatched huts that the pandas had seen when they first came to Kalipura.
As for now, the northern part of Thrace is now relatively prosperous, although most of the peasants in the relatively backward areas still live in thatched huts, except for the areas around Tara Khan or the village of Kalipura, but at least their walls are higher and thicker, their roofs are supported by more wood, and they are covered with thicker thatch.
If you go to Dracula, you can see that the peasants live in houses made of burnt terracotta bricks, and the roofs are paved with tiles - Locke has set up several large kilns to provide building materials for the residents.
The panda pondered these things, and at the same time, with the help of his astonishing speed and magical equipment that could change shapes, he transformed into the form of an ordinary worker, blended into a caravan bound for the city, and successfully entered the city.
As he passed by the city gate, he looked up at the carved text on the gate.
City of Hope.
